Tamara was struck by realization. "You're right."Margot nodded. "So, don't take these dreams too seriously. If you don't want to repeat your past lives, it's better to keep your distance from Sebastian."What more could she say? Both of them didn't want to rekindle their past relationships. She couldn't do much to change their minds.Tamara nodded. "Alright! That's the plan!""By the way, what took you so long earlier?" Tamara looked at her in confusion.Margot shrugged. "I saw Benjamin.""He came here without inviting you?" Tamara was stunned.Margot explained, "He was with a woman in another private room. I don't know what they were talking about, but I didn't want to interrupt."Tamara stared at her and didn't know how to respond.Margot, however, remained calm. "There must be a reason for their meeting. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left school. Come on, I'll take you home."Tamara sighed. "I suddenly envy your level of trust."Margot gave a bitter smile. "What if this tr
Alex was taken aback. Before she could question him further, Jacob had already left the greenhouse.Tamara was standing not far away. She lowered her head and greeted, "Dad."Jacob remained silent and gave her a meaningful look before walking past her.Tamara immediately entered the greenhouse. Seeing that Alex was in a daze, she asked, "Mom, what did Dad say to you?"Alex heard her voice and immediately came back to her senses. She wore a gentle expression once again. "Nothing much. He just asked if I wanted to go on a business trip with him."Tamara asked, "Are you going with him?"Alex shook her head. "No, business trips are boring. I'd rather stay at home with you."Tamara smiled faintly. "Mom, let's go to Clacton while Dad is away."Alex was surprised. "Why do you want to go to Clacton?"Tamara answered, "Grandma and Uncle Jon can't stay in Londsville for long. And you haven't been home for a while. I think Grandma would want you to visit."Alex's eyes flickered. "I'll c
Tamara remained silent for a moment. "What you said is also very possible. Let's wait and see. She would probably take action if she found out the truth.""Alright, let's not think about it for now." Margot slumped onto the sofa.Tamara looked at her. "Why do you look so tired?"Margot squinted her eyes. "I don't know. I'm feeling really exhausted right now. I think I'll take a nap.""Okay, go to bed then." Tamara nodded.Margot got up and lay on the bed, grabbing a large rabbit plushie and hugging it close. She soon fell asleep.Tamara didn't disturb her and sat quietly at the desk, writing something down....Margot hadn't had a nightmare in a long time, and it was even rarer for it to be a vivid one.She saw Benjamin lying in her arms again.She cried heart-wrenchingly, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart.But she had been reborn, hadn't she? Why was she having such dreams? And why were they so vivid? Did she have to go through it all over again?No!She
Tamara could see Margot's worries and reassured her, "Nothing bad will happen. He's probably in a place where he can't answer the phone. Or maybe he doesn't have his phone with him."Margot nodded. "I'm not thinking otherwise." She was just puzzled about where he had gone and why he wouldn't answer her calls.Tamara suggested, "Should I help you locate his phone?"Margot shook her head. "No need for that. Let's wait for him to call me back. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."Tamara refused, "You don't have to. Someone has invited us to dinner."Margot was confused. "Who?"Tamara smiled mischievously. "You'll find out when we get there."She led Margot into a car, and they drove for about half an hour before stopping in front of a barbecue restaurant.Margot looked at the place and commented, "This barbecue place is really good. In a few years, they'll have more branches in Londsville."Tamara nodded. "Yes, I've heard it's delicious. Let's go in.""Sure," Margot agreed. T
Joseph continued, "Even though he's your father, I can see that the two of you are not that close. This is a perfect opportunity to bring down the Simmons Corporation. Once that happens, Aunt Alex and you can both return to Clacton."Both Tamara and Margot fell silent.Was he serious? Was the Moore family going to end the Simmons Corporation in this lifetime instead of Elijah? Did that mean the Simmons Corporation wouldn't be able to escape from their fate?Tamara and Margot had the same thoughts running through their minds. However, it seemed that Joseph had already made up his mind, so they didn't comment on it.Jacob hadn't suffered any setbacks yet. Who knew if Joseph could actually bring down Simmons Corporation? In their previous life, Simmons Corporation went bankrupt because its financial chain was completely stopped, accumulating countless debts that couldn't be paid off. That led to Jacob's mental breakdown and, ultimately, his decision to jump off a building.
Margot and Tamara keenly sensed the tense atmosphere between the two men. Margot's eye twitched uncontrollably.Are they being serious right now?These two men don't even know each other yet. Why did the atmosphere between them feel so strange?"Uh ... Well, let's sit down and eat. I'm hungry," Margot quickly interjected to ease the tension.Benjamin nodded and took a seat next to her. "What did you order?"Margot pouted. "I ordered your favorites."Benjamin smiled adoringly at her.Margot urged, "Let's eat.""Alright." Benjamin nodded, looking like he would bend to her every wish.Joseph sat across from them. When he saw their interactions, he felt an unexpected surge of unhappiness. He was feeling unhappy—very, very unhappy.This mood came on quite suddenly, making him feel irritable.Tamara piped up, "Joseph, why didn't Grandma join us?"Joseph shrugged. "Grandma thinks that we young people can relax better when we eat together. She was afraid you might feel nervous
Jealousy filled the air, and Margot couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What's on your mind? Are you jealous?"Benjamin immediately averted his gaze. "Jealous? Why would I be jealous? You don't even know him."He raised his chin slightly, appearing quite confident in his explanation.Margot hooked her arm through his and gazed at him with a teasing smile. "Are you sure you're not jealous? How about I add him on my socials? After all, he's Tammy's cousin. I can easily contact him if problems arise," teased Margot. "No, you can't!" Benjamin immediately pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist. His eyes locked onto hers dangerously. He stated, "He's Tamara's cousin, not yours. What could be the reason for needing to get in touch with him?"Margot chuckled uncontrollably. "Are you sure? What if ...""No 'what ifs'!" Benjamin gritted his teeth. "You'd better be good, Margot. Stop thinking of someone else. You said it yourself before. You're going to be my future w
Margot smiled faintly, "It was a passing thought. Why are you being so nervous?"Benjamin gave her a look, clearly not believing her bullshit.He parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at her. His eyes were full of affection, pulling her in."Margot, no one can stop us from being together. Not even ourselves." He looked at her solemnly and said, "I went to Natasha to make it clear that she shouldn't have any thoughts for me. I will also fight against my grandfather. Everything I do is for you."He gazed at her and confessed his love.Margot's heart thumped wildly, and she blinked. "I know."She knew his heart well.She was merely joking around earlier. She held his face and leaned over to kiss him.However, as she came within a few inches of him, she suddenly found herself immobilized.Margot clenched her teeth.Benjamin stifled a laugh and reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt, followed by a kiss.It was like he was trying to merge their bodies into one.
